If you’re wondering if Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart PC will have Denuvo, you’ve arrived at the right place.

Denuvo is a type of DRM protection used to protect games against piracy, cheating, modding, and more. However, it has a slightly negative image within the gaming community due to claims that it impacts performance. In fact, it is sometimes the deciding factor when people are deciding whether or not to purchase the game.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart releases on PC later in July, so there’s quite a few people out there interested in finding out if the game is going to have Denuvo, or any time of DRM protection. We’ve already had a look at the game’s system requirements, though they don’t really indicate much. Let’s get into it.

Does Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart PC have Denuvo?

At the moment, there’s been no official confirmation on whether or not Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart PC has Denuvo.

The following Steam discussion thread has a look at whether or not the game will have Denuvo, and user Aphelion raises an important point – “all of the other PS PC Ports have been delivered without Denuvo,” which suggests that it’s possible that this game won’t have the same feature.

Does Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart PC have DRM?

As it doesn’t look likely that Rift Apart PC will have Denuvo, it’s possible that it will have another DRM protection software instead. However, we’re not going to know until the game launches later on this month. When it does, taking a look at the game file-size will illuminate whether or not there is any DRM in the game.
